Ukraine to finalise changes to military deferment rules this week, prime minister says
Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky announced in a BBC News Ukraine interview published on 19 October that the Cabinet of Ministers will finalise changes to the booking (mobilisation deferment) system this week to combat abuses while preserving deferments for genuinely critical enterprises. He said monthly bookings have been rising by tens of thousands over the past six to eight months and that combined deferments, bookings and people evading mobilisation now exceed the number of those serving.
